Through your fasting program, I was able to go from stage four kidney disease to totally healthy kidneys with no kidney disease. I remember my doctor getting goosebumps when she got the report I didn’t even know it was possible I was just trying to heal myself from my diabetes. I lost 100 pounds I pretty much took a hard line with my diet. I basically eat protein with vegetables and a few fruits I’ve cut out potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, sugar I don’t drink calories I’m satisfied with my diet I don’t feel deprived. I do make keto sweets like mug cakes I’m 65 years. and still losing weight slowly my A1c went from a 10.5 to a six and I expect it to be lower at my next doctor visit. I saw my Doctor again and my A1C is now 5.4. I fast when I feel like it on and off. And I eat meat and low carb vegetables, nuts and keto cookies, candies and love mug cakes with wipe cream sugar free of course. I’ve cut out sugar, flour, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, I eat beans very little. I love roasted vegetables. I eat less and less meat as I’m losing my taste for it as I get older. I love keto recipes although I’m not on a keto diet. When I fast I eat at about 2:00 in the afternoon and not after 4:00. But I don’t fast all the time I go on and off. Daily exercise is extremely important. Also anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Praying to God for direction was key in my success.

I was diagnosed stage 2 CKD last year in July 2023 I started IF upon learning it and as advised by my nephrologist. Then I researched and watched videos on IF contents. This January of 2024, after series of blood work, from 80% it bounced to 101%. My kidneys are back to good health—my GFR! Thanks Dr.Fung and other IF docs I watched!

Dr Fung, you and a few other YouTube 'keto' people have changed my life. I've lost 75lbs, lowered my BP by 30 points, and reduced or in many cases eliminated pain & inflammation in my body. Thank you. I'm 20 years younger again, no kidding.

Actually Dr. Kempner was healing kidney failure back just before the dialysis machine was invented and he started with fasting. The machine came out and media drowned Dr. Kempner’s work.

Why is this man not hailed as a super hero because people like him are really saving lives Thank you Dr Fung you have improved my health and life 10 fold THANK YOU Sir

Dr. Fung, when I met you I had 20lbs more and highly dependent on alcohol. Through fasting and some good teas, I was able to reduce weight, sleep better, gain focus and be more patient with my family. May God bless you and your beautiful mission.

I have been struggling with chronic kidney disease and came across your videos. After reading the results others have had below, I feel there is hope, and will start fasting and changing my diet. Thank you, Dr Fung for your videos.

My 83 yr old mom weighed 92 lbs and has stage 4 kidney disease... she got sick and basically didn't eat for a week and she lost 10 lbs which isn't good... but what happened is her kidney function improved... I also noticed she also lost a lot of wrinkles as he body got rid of old cells for energy

I had an A1C of 14 and daily levels of 500-600 blood sugar levels. I watched your videos, stopped taking insulin pretty much cold turkey and within THREE months I reversed my diabetes. My A1C is now 5.5 and my average blood sugar is 98-124 every day. I just started a week-long fast, taking in 300 calories of miso soup and beef jerky. Blood pressure dropped to normal. Thank you!

I started the fasting mimicking diet three years ago. I lost 50 pounds, and my kidney failure went from stage four to stage two.

I have learnt from you and the valuable information you have provided. As a result, my eGFR went from 55 to 68 by reducing carbs, eating blueberries and other kidney friendly foods, and I decided to do some fasting. I started with intermittent fasting, then a 24 hr fast, then 36, 48 and finally a 4 and a half day fast. All of these were easy for me because I was focused on healing and I viewed the therapeutic fasting protocol as a medical treatment. Thank you.

Yes, you can. I was able to go from stage 4 to stage, 2 in 9 months, back in 2020 from fasting. I was already obese and almost pre diabetic. Being scared of becoming a diabetic force me to jurassically cut my calories and exercise excessively. And I was able to go from stage 4. All the way to stage two

I was Stage 4 and with diet and 18:6 fasting I am at Stage 2. No doubt about it diet can help kidney health

My Daughter passed away in March 2022. After her passing my health took a turn for the worse. I am diabetic, after she passed my blood sugar levels were out of control. A1C has been as high as 14+. I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, & my kidney function is low 36% and that is the function in both kidneys. I have had urinary tract infection, bladder and kidney infection. I take antibiotics and 3-4 days after I finish my antibiotics the infection is back. I have been hospitalized for mersa , pancreatitis, kidney stones and infections over the past year. I feel extremely tired, difficulty sleeping, nauseous after eating. I am seeing a nephrologist, urologist, and now a cardiologist. Thank you for ll your Information.

eGFR prior to NO SUGARs, No processed foods, No seed oils, KETO/IF diet - eGFR57 via bloodwork. Now three years later, eGFR 73. Lost 70 lbs. Thank you Dr Fung!

So thankful for Dr Fung for re - discovering the magic of fasting! Genius and such a great soul, born to help people ❤️

A reminder for viewers that Dr Fung is a Nephrologist (kidney doctor)

This is true. My eGFR went from 48 (stage 3 CKD) to 72 in two years following some prolonged fasting - a 21 day water fast and series of 3-4 day fasts done every two to three weeks.
